SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY PACKAGING
SUSTAINABLE BEAUTY PACKAGING
Beauty packaging is a sensorial, emotional business, and we will look at how packaging can keep its premium feel and delight consumers while using more sustainable components. We have interviewed Experts, but also Packaging Manufacturers, Recyclers and Collectors, Materials suppliers, and Brands who’ve already made bold moves. Showing what is practically achievable today, but also the trade-offs you will have to make. The content will cover packaging material categories (recycled and non-recycled) already used or potentially used in the beauty industry (hair-care, make-up, skincare, perfume, etc) for primary packaging, but also secondary packaging, sampling, accessories and gifting. This module will put you in control of your packaging decisions and help you substantiate your sustainable packaging claims.
